Our Private Tours

There is so much to see in Rio de Janeiro and you can choose the itinerary you want with our private tours. We offer the following 4 different options:

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf Mountain Tour (4 Hours)

After picking you up from your accommodation, we'll head to the Corcovado railway station. There, we'll catch a train to the summit of the mountain. At the top, you will find yourself at the feet of the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue. You'll have an hour to explore the statue and the spectacular viewpoints.

The next stop on our fantastic tour is the emblematic Sugarloaf Mountain, situated at the mouth of Guanabara Bay. We'll reach the summit of this majestic rock outcrop via the cable car. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a brilliant panorama of the city.

Finally, we'll accompany you back to your hotel, where the tour finishes.

Rio de Janeiro, AquaRio, & Rio Star Tour (7 Hours)

We'll pick you up from your hotel and drive to the train station. There, we'll take a train up to the mountain of Corcovado, the home of the popular Christ the Redeemer. Did you know that it's one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World? Explore the great statue and enjoy the view!

Afterwards, we'll visit AquaRio, the largest aquarium in South America. Here we'll be able to see 5,000 animals of 350 different species. Finally, we'll go to the Rio Star ferris wheel, one of the new and most famous sights in the city. You'll have an incredible view, as it towers at almost 300 feet (88 metres).

We'll then visit Sugarloaf Mountain before finishing the tour and returning to your accommodation in Rio de Janeiro.

Afterward, we'll drive to the neighborhood of Santa Teresa and visit the Plaza de Guimarães and the Parque de las Ruinas. Then, we'll explore the center of Rio de Janeiro. You'll stroll along the colorful Selaron stairs and the Metropolitan Cathedral.

To wrap up, we'll enjoy a cable car ride to Sugarloaf Mountain. From the top of this mountain, you'll take in the best views of Rio de Janeiro. Finally, we'll take you back to your accommodation to conclude the tour.

Rio de Janeiro Nature Tour (8 Hours)

This tour is perfect for discovering Rio de Janeiro's natural side. After picking you up from your hotel, we'll head to Corcovado, where we'll board the iconic train that will take us through the lush vegetation to the summit, where the imposing Christ the Redeemer statue stands.

Our next stop will be the famous Botanical Garden, a spectacular oasis where you'll be amazed by the exuberant variety of tropical flora and fauna. From there, we'll venture into the jungle with a tour of Tijuca Forest, the world's largest urban forest. Along the way, we'll stop at the iconic Vista Chinesa viewpoint and the refreshing Taunay Waterfall.

Continuing our journey, we'll head towards the coast to admire the famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, where the golden sand meets the Atlantic Ocean. To top off the tour, we'll take a cable car to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain. From the heights of this iconic hill, we'll enjoy the best panoramic view of the city. You'll have Rio de Janeiro completely at your feet!

We'll end the tour by returning you to your hotel.
